  • the bottom film contains at least two different polyolefins or polyolefin-containing polymers, e.g. partially crosslinked EPDM, polypropylene and / or reactive group-containing polymers and / or ionomers and / or polymeric crosslinking agents or one or more of the aforementioned polyolefin-containing polymers and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
  • polyolefins or polyolefin-containing polymers e.g. partially crosslinked EPDM, polypropylene and / or reactive group-containing polymers and / or ionomers and / or polymeric crosslinking agents or one or more of the aforementioned polyolefin-containing polymers and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
  • the aim and object of the present invention was to achieve an improved film with improved properties or processing properties compared to the prior art.
  • the film should have good or improved grain stability, the surfaces should be matt without an additional matting agent or have a certain mattness or degree of matting.
  • the film should have good thermoformability and should also be able to be processed into molded parts or articles to which relatively high demands are made.
  • Such fields of application are, for example, molded parts, objects or deep-drawn parts for motor vehicles, in particular motor vehicle interior trim.
  • thermoformable composite film which contains a polyolefin-containing top film and at least one polyolefin-containing bottom film which differs qualitatively and / or quantitatively from the composition of the top film, and optionally a surface protective layer.
  • the lower film or lower films contain (or contain) at least two different polyolefins or polyolefin- or olefin-containing polymers, -co-, -ter-, -graft- or -block polymers.
  • the composite film according to the invention is a flexible thermoformable motor vehicle film or web, which is particularly well suited for the production of thermoformed molded parts with a uniform matt surface for motor vehicle films for interior trim.
  • the mattness of this film is largely independent of the deformation temperature and the degree of deformation, i.e. The same or approximately the same mattness of the film surface or of the thermoformed molded part produced therefrom is given at all points of the molded part.
  • the top film preferably contains a dynamically cross-linked or partially cross-linked PP-EPDM or PP-EPDM mixtures or alloys.
